Hideki Matsui is a Japanese former professional baseball outfielder and designated hitter who played baseball in Japan and the United States. After playing the first ten seasons of his career for the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, he played the next seven seasons, from 2003-2009, for the New York Yankees of North America's Major League Baseball. Matsui was successful in both leagues, winning the Central League Most Valuable Player Award three times in Japan, as well as the World Series Most Valuable Player Award in the United States. In Japan, Matsui earned the popular nickname"Godzilla" The origin of the name is derisive in nature, in reference to Matsui's skin problems early on in his career, but has since come to represent his powerful hitting.
